Support for Men in Abusive Relationships

“While the majority of
domestic violence victims are women, abuse of men happens far more often than
you'd probably expect. Typically, men are physically stronger than women but
that doesn't necessarily make it easier to escape the violence or the
relationship. An abused man faces a shortage of resources, skepticism from
police, and major legal obstacles, especially when it comes to gaining custody
of his children from an abusive mother. No matter your age, occupation, or
sexual orientation, though, you can overcome these challenges and escape the
abuse.”

“OUR MISSION
- To provide crisis
intervention and support services to victims of intimate
partner violence (IPV) and their families in order to help survivors
recover from the trauma of IPV. We work toward the elimination of IPV by
increasing public awareness and decreasing tolerance of IPV through
community collaboration and education. DAHMW strives to improve the quality and
safety of the lives of victims who are seeking peace in their homes and in
their daily existence.”
